On the morning of August 7, KST, actress Hyeri, the lead in the film “Victory,” sat down for an interview at a café in Palpan-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. “Victory,” set in 1999, tells the story of an amateur cheerleading club called “Millennium Girls,” who uplift everyone with their energetic dances and songs fueled by pure passion.

Hyeri is concerned as personal life controversies may impact her professional career

Recently, Hyeri garnered attention not only for her film but also for her personal life. Hyeri and Ryu Joon Yeol, who became a couple after starring together in “Reply 1988,” went public with their relationship in 2017. However, they broke up in November last year after seven years of dating. During this time, it was revealed that Ryu Joon Yeol and Han So Hee were dating. Finding out about the news, she posted a message on her social media saying, “Interesting.” This incident dubbed the “Interesting Clash,” led to intense public interest and speculation.

In the interview, Hyeri said, “I will briefly address this. Although I don’t have much more to say, I’ll take just two minutes to speak on this matter.” She continued, “My main concern is that these personal matters might overshadow my film ‘Victory,’ which I truly love and even shed tears for during the press screening. I’m worried that these discussions might gain more attention than the film itself.”

She added, “However, if I think back to that time, as a person, Hyeri, I believe that was how I genuinely felt, and that’s why I acted the way I did,” briefly but candidly expressing her feelings.

Hyeri May Star in Upcoming Girls’ Love Drama ‘Friendly Competition’

Hyeri, known for tackling dynamic roles in K-dramas, is considering an offer to appear in TVING’s upcoming Girls’ Love (GL) drama, Friendly Competition. This drama, inspired by the webtoon of the same name, tells the compelling story of Woo Seul-gi. She’s the new kid at an elite girls’ high school in Seoul who crosses paths with Yoo Jae-yee, the school’s top student.

Friendly Competition isn’t just about the budding romance between two girls from different backgrounds. It’s a narrative rich with complexity and depth. Woo Seul-gi, having been the top student at her old school, faces a whole new set of challenges at the prestigious Chaehwa Girls’ High School. Here, she meets Yoo Jae-yee, who’s blessed with a high IQ and exceptional talents. Unlike Woo Seul-gi, who’s targeted by bullies, Yoo Jae-yee is admired and envied by everyone around her. The drama unfolds as these two young ladies gradually develop feelings for each other.

However, Friendly Competition is set to be more than a typical GL drama. It will touch on topics like  substance abuse, self-harm, and masturbation. These will be portrayed in such a way that will push the boundaries of what is usually aired on television. This bold portrayal of teenagers grappling with various addictions adds a layer of depth and realism to the show. It’s one part love story, one part mystery, and one part psychological thriller. Screenwriter Kim Tae-hee penned the script.

Hyeri has already established herself as a force to reckon with in the entertainment industry. In addition to her success as a member of Girl’s Day, Lee Hye-ri has become one of the most sought-after actresses of her generation. Still, some don’t know who she is but still assume she is a major celebrity. For instance, the “My Roommate is a Gumiho” star was just mistaken for a member of aespa!

‘My Roommate is a Gumiho’ Actor Lee Hyeri Shares Hilarious Encounters During Tokyo Trip

In her latest video, titled “TOKYO SHOPPING HAUL,” Hyeri shared her shopping experience in Tokyo and showcased the unique and stylish items she purchased. The video’s highlight was a memorable encounter at the Stussy store, where an employee complimented Hyeri’s visuals and even expressed personal interest.

Hyeri revealed that while browsing the Stussy store, an employee went beyond the usual customer service and called her “my type,” expressing admiration for her appearance. The interaction took a surprising turn when the employee handed Hyeri a memo, asking for her Instagram ID. This unexpected and flattering episode left Hyeri giddy and added a romantic flair to her shopping experience.

As Hyeri unpacked her purchases, she shared another amusing episode from a different store. While showcasing a hoodie from Acne Studios, one of her staff members inquired about the encounter at the previous store. Hyeri recounted that, instead of revealing her profession when asked by a shopkeeper, she playfully challenged them to guess. To her surprise, the shopkeeper correctly guessed that she was an idol.

Hyeri, feigning shock at the accurate guess, couldn’t help but be flattered by the shopkeeper’s recognition. Interestingly, the shopkeeper speculated that she belonged to the fourth-generation idol group aespa, suggesting that the “My Roommate is a Gumiho” star is a lot younger than she truly is. The humorous exchange highlighted the charm and approachability of the idol, who embraced the playful moments during her Tokyo shopping spree.

The Stussy and Acne Studios items featured in the haul reflected Hyeri’s distinct fashion sense, showcasing statement pieces from luxury brands. The video not only provided a glimpse into Hyeri’s stylish preferences but also entertained fans with the delightful stories that unfolded during her shopping adventure in Tokyo.

The GIRL'S DAY member criticized Delta Air Lines for unexpectedly giving her a seat downgrade during a recent flight

Lee Hyeri recently took to social media to voice her dissatisfaction with Delta Air Lines for an unexpected downgrade of her seat without prior notice. The GIRL’S DAY member expressed her frustration over the airline’s decision, highlighting the lack of a clear explanation for the downgrade.

GIRL’S DAY Member Hyeri Gets Unexpected Seat Downgrade From Delta Air Lines

In a post shared on her Instagram story on August 31, Hyeri disclosed that Delta Air Lines had downgraded her first-class ticket to economy class on the very day of her flight. This sudden change left her baffled and disappointed. She further revealed that she had booked her first-class ticket a month in advance, making the unexplained downgrade even more perplexing and disheartening.

“The only option that they offered me was to either fly economy at the price of a first-class ticket or to walk away and wait for the next flight,” Hyeri stated. She further added, “This is the most absurd experience I’ve been going through recently.”

Hyeri’s candid revelation shed light on the importance of transparency and clear communication in the airline industry, where passengers rely on their bookings being honored as promised.

Following these member changes, the quartet continued their journey and went on to achieve remarkable success. They became one of the era’s most popular and commercially successful girl groups. Notably, GIRL’S DAY released a series of chart-topping hits, including “Twinkle Twinkle,” “Hug Me Once,” “Expect,” “Something,” “Darling,” and “Ring My Bell.” Each of these songs surpassed the impressive milestone of selling over one million digital copies, solidifying GIRL’S DAY’s status as a prominent and influential group in the K-pop industry.
